For Caregiver and Families:

For Dietitians:

Are You Ready To Become A Geriatric Dietitian?The field of geriatrics is booming- it is estimated that 10,000 baby boomers will enter retirement age every single day until 2030. We need geriatric dietitians out there to ensure older adults in our communities receive the very best care possible!

What Does It Take to Become A Geriatric Dietitian?A Registered Dietitian who has been practicing for at least 2 years and has 2,000 hours of practice experience with older adults can apply to become a Board Certified Specialist in Gerontological Nutrition (CSG). Once your application is accepted, you can sit for the CSG exam.

Interested in One-on-One Coaching?I offer one-on-one professional development coaching to dietitians. You can work one-on-one with a geriatric dietitian with over 11 years of experience and the resources to help you meet your professional goals!

I want to work in geriatrics! What job opportunities are there for dietitian?Geriatric dietitians work in a variety of settings including hospitals, post-acute care, outpatient settings, long-term care, assisted living facilities, home care, palliative and hospice care, community-based nutrition programs, food service, prisons, government programs, management, education, industry, research, and private practice. The opportunities are limitless!

–AnthroDesk Standing DeskWe all know that sitting is bad for your health. And as entrepreneurs we all, no doubt, spend too much time sitting while we work. I recommend using a standing desk throughout the day. It’s good for your health and your business- you will be less strained and more productive!

The adjustable standing desk can be used on any surface- the office or even the kitchen (where I use mine so I can work and watch the kids!). It adjusts from sitting to standing with ease and is completely stable when in the standing position. The floor mat I use is so squishy and comfortable for long periods of standing. This desk has been a lifesaver for me and my blogging business!
